I didn't
explain myself, before.
I mean that in the 9.0 distro ALL modules related to DVB are YET compiled. The problem in trying to build starting from Metzler DVB 9.4 is that the kernel tree is rather different than Mandrake and the 2.4.19-16mdk kernel is configured to use a daemon to install and unistall modules on-the-fly (one of the first switches in kernek xconfigure) this is perceived by the makefile of DVB 9.4 as if the mdk kernel were compiled without the permission to insert modules. I'm not sure that trying to recompile this kernel without this switch is a good idea, I would preferably try to install its existing modules with, say, modprobe. I have yet tried this, and found that it suffices installing dvb.o to have at the same time installed all modules related (frontend, ...). The only thing I don't yet know is if in this installation it's needed some parameter as in Metzler's makefile and the way to pass it correctly. The two arrangements are not identical and while tracing an aborted installation on Mdk 8.2 I saw important differences in video_dev structure declaration ( see the problems compiling... busy ) and some warning that made me think that Mdk kernel was some way newer than official same release If someone has yet installed a 8.2 release can see
that tracing struct video_dev will lead to a structure declaration in
which busy is declared as int, but in the new version of the same modules there
are comments
indicating that new decisions are chosen. I'm not
as expert to understand all this stuff, but the really important thing is that
you can insert the modules right for 9.0 distro.
If some
one else has another bit of this story...
